1-year-old falls in bucket with bleach, loses consciousness, parents loaded

Two Dubuque, Iowa, parents face incorrect negligence after their 1-year-old fell in a bucket of bleach in their home.

Scott A. Marcov, 30, and Madelyn A. Marcov, 28, were arrested Tuesday and accused of neglect or abandonment by an dependent person, according to Kalb.

Scott was reportedly in the bathtub while Madelyn was in the living room when the baby fell in the pale bucket. The child’s head was inside the jug for an unknown time, according to a criminal complaint that was looked by Wsaz.

Another child saw what had happened and carried the child to the couple while he demanded help. The 1-year-old had reportedly “suffered from acute respiratory errors and loss of consciousness”, according to Telegraph Herald.
